Chapter 193 Let’s Raise Two
"Okay, I'll go now!" Cai Yanhong was about to go out with a smile. She said that she could only sleep when she was full. How could she sleep on an empty stomach?
"Go ahead."
While Cai Yanhong went out to call a few other people to come for dinner, Lin Yinyin also took the opportunity to take out a piece of welcoming ham and a few steamed buns from the supermarket space.
There are a few cucumbers, carrots and onions in the basket of vegetables on the ground, which are the ingredients for making Yangzhou fried rice.
However, the leftover rice in the pot is obviously not enough for these people to eat, so let's make another dish of fried steamed buns!
Fresh cucumbers can still be eaten in this season, thanks to Shen Yetu's supply of green vegetables. The people in the backyard didn't ask too many questions and just ate them.
Everyone has their own little secrets. They all know that Shen Yechu has some tricks up his sleeve.
Shen Yechu was very satisfied to see that these people were so considerate, which led to an endless supply of fresh vegetables in Lin Yinyin's small kitchen.
This can also satisfy their appetites.
Two main dishes were quickly prepared and served on the table. Lin Jian and several others also arrived one after another. Seeing how energetic they looked, did they not sleep just now?
"Sister Yin, it has to be you, otherwise I will go to bed hungry tonight."
"You're the only one who talks too much. I should have known not to invite you to dinner. I'd rather let you starve to death."
"If you don't call me, won't I come over by myself? Really, my legs are on my body, I can come over whenever I want."
"You...if it weren't for me, do you think you could have eaten so late today? Dream on!"
Cai Yanhong retorted bluntly.
"You two, stop arguing. If you keep arguing, you won't be able to eat. We're afraid that the people in the front yard won't know that we're firing in the middle of the night! Eat quickly, and go back to sleep when you're full!"
Lin Yinyin handed each of them a pair of chopsticks. The noise late at night gave her a headache.
"Speaking of sleeping, I thought I heard the sound of a mouse just now. I have to go back and see if there is a mouse in my room. Judging from the sound, the mouse that entered my room must be quite big."
Jiang Jizhi was eating the fried rice in the bowl and seemed to have thought of something.
"What kind of mouse is that? It's... uh...?"
Cai Yanhong immediately thought that the sound Jiang Jizhi heard was probably not the sound of a mouse, but the sound that Lin Yinyin had just imitated.
But before she could finish the second half of her sentence, Lin Yinyin stuffed her mouth with fried steamed buns.
"Eat more. It's better to sleep after you're full."
Lin Yinyin gave Cai Yanhong a look as she spoke, telling her not to say anything that shouldn't be said. She didn't want so many people to know that she had just listened to a live broadcast and was forced to act like a big rat.
"Winter is coming soon, and mice are starting to come out to store food. Didn't you say before, Xiaowu, that you wanted to get a cat?
I've found out recently, and it was Aunt Luo who told me that a relative in her mother's village has a litter of kittens and is asking if anyone wants them.
I told Aunt Luo that you wanted to raise one, and she said she would bring one back to you when she goes back to her parents' home in the next couple of days when she's not busy."
Lin Jianhe originally wanted to tell Lin Yinyin about this matter when he came back in the afternoon, but Lin Yinyin was sleeping when he came back. Jiang Jizhi mentioned this matter just now, so he told it by the way.
"Really? That's great, brother. Have you asked Aunt Luo what the kitten looks like?"
Lin Yinyin's eyes lit up. She had been thinking about raising a small pet to keep her company for a long time.
"What's so good about that? Don't all cats look the same?"
Cai Yanhong finally swallowed the big mouthful of fried steamed buns in her mouth and then started speaking.
"You know what? There are so many cat breeds... and they all look different. But I'm not picky. A good cat is one that can catch mice."
Lin Yinyin was just about to explain to Cai Yanhong about the breed of Chinese native cats, but when she saw Shen Yechu sitting nearby eating, she thought better of it.
Just think of it as opening a blind box. She will keep whatever Aunt Luo gives her.
"Then I'm afraid this kitten you want to raise won't be able to help you for a while. It's only a month old and can't even walk steadily."
Jiang Jizhi smiled and said that he was there when Aunt Luo talked to Lin Jianhe in the afternoon and listened along.
"You're so small, can you leave your mother cat?"
Lin Yinyin frowned after hearing this. Although she had never raised a kitten in her previous life, she had read a lot of popular science books, which all said that kittens should be at least two months old before they can be given away or sold.
"There's no other way. The mother cat can't feed so many kittens, and the family isn't willing to use their own food to feed the cats."
"If you ask me, we should just take two. We have so much food here, can't we still feed two kittens? The mice that are chasing after our food are enough to feed them."
Jiang Jizhi was still thinking about the mouse. He must catch it when he returned, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well at night.
"Then let's get two. We have a lot of people and a lot of stuff. Actually, if you were to say that, we should get a guard dog, but we're still connected to the front yard, so let's forget about getting a dog."
Lin Jianhe decided the matter, and the one kitten in the backyard became two.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Cai Yanhong, who had food in her stomach, fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. However, Jiang Jizhi went back and lit the oil lamp, and looked around inside and outside. He really didn't see the big rat, so he lay back on the kang.
......
The bright moon, which was not yet full, rose into the sky.
A translucent gray cloud faintly obscured the moonlight, and above the fields, a wisp of smoke seemed to shroud the fields, as if falling into a dream.
After the evening clouds passed, the smoke and fog over the fields dissipated...
A drizzle began to fall in the second half of the night. This autumn rain broke the sunny days that had lasted for more than half a month, but fortunately the autumn harvest was completely over.
Now we are just waiting for a day to go to the town to deliver the grain. Fortunately, the rain is not heavy, and the ground is wet. It is said that every autumn rain brings a chill. When Lin Yinyin got up this morning, she felt the temperature was particularly low.
She took out the flowery cotton-padded jacket that Lin Jianhe had brought back a while ago and put it on, then got up and prepared to make breakfast.
"Xiao Wu, we have to go to the grain station to hand in our food today. Just grab something to eat in the morning. Let's go early, otherwise we'll have to queue."
Lin Jianhe poured the water he drew back into the big vat, turned around and said to Lin Yinyin.
"Isn't it raining today? Why are you still going to hand in the grain?"
Although Lin Yinyin had never participated in it, she still knew a little bit. There were quite a few tricks and rules involved in delivering grain. If you were not careful, they might ask you to go back home and make you suffer a lot.
